Thank you, Loupy. Been seeing neurologist 4 years now.Not many here (🙄in fact 1, but I like him). Had every treatment, med etc available. Still on Topirimate, and Emgality. Have gone thru everything else including nerve searing, triptans, Amovig, Ajovy… and non medical approved nothing. Lists …Some made it worse . I’m retired. I live to paint. Thought I’d be out there everyday but appreciate it more when I can. Miss hiking and exercising. I see everyday hard others have it here and it can get real bad but I’m lucky, when I’m not feeling sorry for myself.
I posted this but it seems to have got buried. After weeks in a dark room I was forced to find something positive out of all this… or ‘break’
Drew my thoughts and surroundings and did a painting. I feel really weird posting it again… I’m not looking for anything except to show something that helped me…. Try to find a way out…
Thank you

I was just diagnosed with my first HM. Have been under a LOT of stress recently. I have a long history of migraines, but never anything like this!
How do you know for sure if it was a HM vs. stroke?
How often do they recur?
How to prevent them?
I can't go to a dark room and recover. I take care of my Mother (90 y/o), which is a lot of my stress.
This has caused even more because I'm not sure that I was given the correct diagnosis!!!
I am so sorry to hear about your situation. That would be so depressing. I am also very proud for you, that you were able to turn it around into a very positive and productive situation! Your painting is beautiful!
